View Full Version : The funniest comedy movie of all time?

Most comedies suck in my book. I'm one of those people that usually thinks, "I can write better jokes than that." Most movies are just "funny silly" without being "funny haha".
Two have always left me in stitches though:
There's Something About Mary
Rat Race
I could watch either one of those over and over again.
Office Space.
It is hands down the funniest movie I have ever seen. The whole thing is quotable.

Prefer the slapstick comedy types myself. In no particular order, my top 5:
Blazing Saddles
Airplane
Dumb and Dumber
Super Troopers
Monty Python and the Holy Grail
They just never get old.

SHUT UP!
Leave your computer immediately and do not return until you have seen Bad Santa.
I'm serious. Just go. Now.
ETA: Favorite comedy day in, day out? Young Frankenstein. Closely followed by It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
Father Goose with Cary Grant
Donovan's Reef with John Wayne
No Time For Sergeant's with Andy Griffith
History of the World - part 1
Dracula: Dead and Loving it
Blazing Saddles
Mel Brooks is a ****ing genius. Period.
Any of the Austin Powers. That shit just makes me laugh my ass off. They just kept getting better...

Office Space or Super Troopers...so good.
Tropic Thunder is hilarious as well.

Trailer Park Boys is my favorite TV series + two movies of all time. Funniest stuff I've ever seen by a wide margin. If you ever get a chance to see the special final episode of the series, "Say Goodnight to the Bad Guys", that is the most I've ever laughed in 40 minutes of my life!
Several choices, but I'll add Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Princess Bride
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Second Hand Lions
Airplane
Vacation
A couple of previously mentioned movies are on my list but let me add Men In Tights to the Mel Brookes list
Possibly "Young Frankenstein."
You'll never watch "Bride of Frankenstein" or "Son of Frankenstein" the same way again. My fondness for both films probably factors into my nomination.
Blazzing Saddles certainly broke ground even if it isn't as hilarious as it was on the first viewing. Almost everything Monty Python holds up well because they had a cult following when they were new.
I'd also put "Animal House" on any list.
Pretty much hate everything with Ben Stiller EXCEPT Dodgeball. That was hilarious.
Possibly "Young Frankenstein."...
Not possibly- Definitely!!!. One of the funniest movies of all time

The Naked Gun. :D

Porky's
The scene with the coaches laughing at the guy having sex up stairs is hilarious. You can tell they absolutely lost it themselves.
I also love Office Space and pretty much any Mel Brooks movie, even the bad ones.
I also love Peter Sellers movies. The Party and the Pink Panther movies are a riot.
I watched one of the Pink Panther movies with my Dad (his favorite funny movies) and my French girlfriend I had in college. I didn't think I was going to be able to breathe after she said "We don't talk like that" and sounded like Peter Sellers. My Dad almost had a stroke from laughing so hard, I think.:D

Anchorman
Men In Tights

I agree with seriousstudent Funny Thing On The Way To The Forum is one of the funniest movies ever and the weird thing is the actor who plays the horny young hero in this movie is the phantom in Phantom of the Opera. Go figure
Love Tony Curtis. I still enjoy "Operation Petticoat" when it's on AMC or the like.
He was actually banging porn star Danyel Cheeks for awhile. She was pretty hot.
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
In no particular order, I'd never pass up watching these.
1. Blazing Saddles
2. Young Frankenstein, Yeah, Mel Brooks is that good!
3. Animal House, Who didn't want to go to a toga party after seeing this?
4. The Princess Bride, Every time Mandy Patinkin's character uttered this, I would just crack up. Inigo Montoya: "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
5. Caddyshack
My all time favorite though is "Doctor Strangelove" Where else can nuclear holocaust be so funny?
I gotta feva! And the only prescription- is more cowbell!
I can't stand Ben Stiller's movies, other than select scenes from Zoolander. "It's Magnum! [Collective Gasp!]"
The ATF scenes from Beavis and Butthead Do America were pretty funny.
Office Space, Princess Bride, Young Frankenstein, and Cary Grant's comedies for me. Most of the movies I've found really funny are from the 50's and older.
AFT on Youtube cracks me up on a regular basis. The Best Buy UFC Teabagging incident is pretty good, as are the new EOD and Sapper vids.

I agree with just about everything said already. I will add one to the list though... 1941
Oh and don't forget Down Periscope either... Kelsey Grammar in fine form

All "Police Academy's"
"Vacation"
There have been quite a few others mentioned already.
1) Vacation
2) X-mas Vacation
3) Naked Gun
4) Airplane
5) X-mas Story

There was no part 2, that's part of the joke. Although, if there were, I'm quite sure I'd miss a day of work to see it on opening day.

:eek: :eek:
With all due respect sir, you are absolutely wrong about Super Troopers. How can you forget the bear ****er scene? Or when they get Farva's cop car? :nono:
Here is my list:
1. Blazing Saddles
2. Smokey and the Bandit
3. Office Space
4. Super Troopers
They are in that order simply because that is the order they came out in. They are all great, all awesomely quotable, and all super hilarious.
Christmas Story and Christmas Vaction are only good at Christmas. Trying to watch them in May is just weird.
Other honorable mentions are Blues Brothers, Idiocracy(<more horror than comedy), Porkys, Old School, and Talladega Nights.
ETA: I cannot stand Ben Stiller either. The only reason Tropic Thunder is funny is because of Robert Downey Jr and that one guy who place the big time movie producer... ;)
Caddyshack was mentioned in post #41.
I see that now.
Used Cars is still hilarious.

Most of my favorites have been mentioned (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Anchorman, Airplane, etc) but I think that Anchorman, The Other Guys and Tropic Thunder are also deserving of a spot on that list.
Oh, yes! How could we have forgotten A Christmas Story?
Mentioning Cary Grant brought another classic comedy to mind- Arsenic and Old Lace
Other comedies I really liked- Nacho Libre with Jack Black. It's an odd one but that's part of it's schtick. "Chancho. When you are a man, sometimes you wear stretchy pants in your room. It's for fun."
Roger Rabbit- "I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way..." Oh yeah
The Batman movie. Not the Hollywood blockbuster that was so horrible but the one with Adam West and Burt Ward. Unmatched 60's campy goodness. "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb"
Rudy: C'mon Jeff! You've seen how bad business is. Thanks to Fuchs, our name is mud! Look... we had nuns, protesting out front when I got here this morning.

[President Carter on TV]
President Carter: -high inflation. What is the solution?
[TV cuts to commercial for Luke's yard taking place in Roy's yard]
Jeff: You want the solution to inflation? Hi, friends. Marshall Lucky here for New Deal Used Cars, where we're lowering inflation not only by fighting high prices, not only by murdering high prices, but by blowing the living shit out of high prices. Yessir. Here's an example. It's a 1972 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, for sixty-two ninety-nine. That price is too high.
[shoots car]
Jeff: Yessir. Here's another one. It's a Lincoln Continental, Mark IV, 1973. It's loaded. It's got air conditioning. It's got a stereo. It's got white-wall radial tires. It's got power steering, power brakes, power seats, power windows. And a price that is just too high.
[shoots car]
Jeff: Yessir.
[Jim appears on car behind him in costume]
Jim: YAAAAAAHHHH.
Freddie: [on microphone] Look out, Marshall Lucky. It's High Prices.
Jeff: Take this, you dirty ol' High Prices.
["shoots" Jim, who puts on a very convincing act]
Jim: AHHHH. Ya got me Marshall. Ahhhhh...
Jeff: [shocked] Jesus Christ.
[winks at screen]
Jeff: Yessir, that's New Deal Used Cars... Now wait just a Goddamn minute. What the hell is this? Is this a 1974 Mercedes 450SL for *twenty-four thousand dollars*? That's too ****ing high.
[blows up car with dynamite. Roy watches at home]
Roy: You sonova bitch.
Jeff: [laughs] Yessir. We blew the shit out of that over-priced mother****er just the way we blow the shit out of *all* high prices, down here at New Deal Used Cars. So y'all come on down. Did you hear what I said? New Deal Used Cars. So y'all come on down. Did you hear what I said?

Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead... Going to have to check out World's End.
..and The Hangover
I was just thinking this morning that two films tie for my #1 favorite comedy, Airplane! & Blazing Saddles.
Adam Savage (Mythbusters) said that everyone has 30-50 films in their top 10 lists. I have to believe him now after reading some of the posts above.
ETA: I laughed my ASS off during RED 2.
I'd like to throw in my vote for a lil known movie called Movie 43 .. has alot of named actors in it and it pretty hilarious
But my all time is always Spaceballs .. and the runner ups are always the Kevin Smith movies
Great choices. Absolute Classics and thanks for reminding me of them.

No one has mentioned Bachelor Party!
Very funny movie.
And who can forget Back to School?
However, "funniest" probably depends on several interpretations or definitions; for example: raunchy, laugh-out-loud, gut-buster scenes, and their frequency, or sophisticated, witty, subtle humor are very different in type. Perhaps they should be segmented into categories.
Few films have as many blow-your-soda-through-your-nose laughs as Dumb and Dumber. Bachelor Party also fits this bill. Some movies are silly and rioutously funny, but not in quite as crude or juvenile a way, such as Monthy Python and the Holy Grail--help, I'm being repressed! Fletch is also veryfunny, but not nearly as crude as Dumb and Dumber or Animal House.
Some movies also don't age well, but were great when first seen. For example, Beetle Juice really is not nearly as funny now as when I saw it in 1989 ( or thereabouts).
Others were definitely part of their time and place, but remain timeless and even funnier than when they were made--especially compared to the many horrible films of the comedy genre made more recently. Blues Brothers is funnier today than it was back then. So is The Jerk, especially because PC standards today would never have allowed it to be made--at least not in the same way.
There are different types of humor, maybe we should define "funniest" and come up with some qualifying criteria whereby we can assess a film. :p
I agree that films in the 70s and 80s are way the heck better than the trash that's just churned out now.
I must say, though, that some of my all time favorite comedy moments are from the 30s and 40s with Abbott and Costello. But I think the 80s as a whole probably stand out as the best single comedy decade ever! " Bueller, Bueller, Bueller?"
Other honorable mentions: Bowfinger, Oscar, Three Amigos, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and Something Funny Happened On The Way To The Forum.
I suspect many of those works noted are based on very generational, and perhaps regional, influences.
For me, all of my top-# comedies would center around the early SNL cast members, Dan Akroyd, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Steve Martin, and a few cast members into the mid to late 80s.
Anyone remember Weird Science from 1985?
Bachelor Party!
Back to School
Fletch
Three Amigos
All great films.
Bachelor Party doesn't hold up quite as well but has enough Tawny Kitaen in her prime and other gratuitous nudity to make up the difference.
Back to School reminds me a bit of Harlem Nights with the concentrated talent in the film. Becky LeBeau (aka Bubbles) in the hot tub was just extra icing on the cake.
I think Fletch was grossly underrated. Problem is it wasn't a great comedy so much as it was a good movie with some great comedy in it.
And I agree with much of the charm of films like The Jerk, Blues Brothers, Animal House, etc. being that they had content that would never be allowed today.
It's funny but I thought Caddyshack was a lot funnier when I was a kid, with the exception of Murray and Dangerfield it really doesn't hold up as well. By the same token, as a kid I didn't get most of the Blues Brothers but now it's hilarious every time.
And while it might not make anyone's Top 10 (or even Top 25) I always loved Transylvania 6-5000. Now certainly most of the appeal is Genna Davis as the hottest vampire to come along since Hammer films, but it also has a Dumb and Dumber sense of humor if you allow yourself to go with it. Certainly not as funny as Dumb and Dumber but I still enjoy it.
Anyone remember Weird Science from 1985?
Probably my favorite of the 80s Brat Pack / John Hughes films. I never completely bought into The Breakfast Club, I thought it was as contrived as the contrivances the movie presumed to criticize. It just wasn't the enlightenment of a film like Office Space.
Sixteen Candles was a close second, and hilarious, but I just never really saw Molly Ringwald as "hot" and it bordered on a chick flick.
Weird Science might be my favorite John Hughes film and I love almost every film he ever did. They were the films that defined my generation as much as The Graduate defined that generation (sadly). I was definitely able to identify with the slightly awkward kid trying to be cool and shoot for greater things. Of course most of us can probably say that regardless of who we were in high school.
Which reminds me of another classic, Revenge of the Nerds. It's scary how much I knew every person depicted in that film. Booger was as awesome as Kenny Powers would be years later. And plenty of prime T&A definitely helped the film.

You know, if someone asked me if I liked funny movies I'd certainly respond in the affirmative. That said, I can't think of any go-to's right now. I do very much enjoy a dark comedy so, 'Welcome to the Dollhouse' is up there for me.
Tom Hanks and Shelly Long buy the incredible house for pennies on the dollar only to find out it's falling apart.
Not the whole movie, but a couple scenes where I nearly choked watching Hanks.
Scene where Hanks gets attacked by bees as seen through the window is hysterical as is his reaction to the bathtub falling throught the floor to shatter into a million pieces.
Anyone remember Multiplicity? I love this movie and it still cracks me up. - "She touch my pepe Steve."
Life is another good one that is funny everytime you watch it. - "I'm the PAPPY!"
In no particular order- these are the funniest to me:
-Young Frankenstein
-Caddy Shack
-Slapshot
-Dr. Strangelove or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb
-Kingpin
-Monty Python and the Holy Grail
-Strange brew
-The Jerk
-Animal House
-Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
-Airplane!
-Life of Brian
-The Big Lebowski
If I had to chose the funniest of the bunch; it would be really hard to decide between Young Frankenstein and Dr. Strangelove for the #1 spot.

Indeed. One of the best.
I should have included Clue and Murder by death on my list above. Those are just brilliant!

Hell yeah it would! It would also make for quite the ab workout!
How the hell did I forget Strange Brew. That was "milk through your nose" funny.
Also Clue was ok, but it got bonus points for Colleen Camp in a french maid outfit. I've always had a thing for Colleen Camp ever since she played Bruce Lee's girlfriend (even though it wasn't really Bruce Lee because he died a few years prior to those scenes) in "Game of Death."

I really thought The Ladykillers remake with Tom Hanks was outrageously funny and under appreciated. Same goes for Burn After Reading.

It was funny, but hardly a contender for one of the funniest movies of all time. But speaking of Robin Williams, I'm stunned we all forgot this one.

Best shootout ever.

Speaking of the Survivors, I just went and rewatched it. Hadn't seen it in years.
A very funny movie. My wife got a big kick out of the scene where Robin Williams tells his fiancé he didn't buy that Galil for him, it was for "us!"
Yes, the shootout is hilarious. "What kind of person gives cigarettes to trees!"
I think one of the best scenes is when Jerry Reed is packing to leave on a trip, and his wife comes in, worrying about him being gone all the time and whether he's having an affair. He sits her down and tells her he's a hired killer and leaves all the time to kill people, that he is "not committing adultery when he leaves, but murder." She sits there stunned for a bit and then exclaims, "oh, thank God!"
Speaking of the Survivors, I just went and rewatched it. Hadn't seen it in years.
A very funny movie. My wife got a big kick out of the scene where Robin Williams tells his fiancé he didn't buy that Galil for him, it was for "us!"
Yes, the shootout is hilarious. "What kind of person gives cigarettes to trees!"
I think one of the best scenes is when Jerry Reed is packing to leave on a trip, and his wife comes in, worrying about him being gone all the time and whether he's having an affair. He sits her down and tells her he's a hired killer and leaves all the time to kill people, that he is "not committing adultery when he leaves, but murder." She sits there stunned for a bit and then exclaims, "oh, thank God!"
My absolute favorite scene was him explaining that it's "not an automatic weapon, it's semi automatic and automatic weapons aren't legal."
While the film was obviously intended to lampoon the survivalist movement and the firearms community, somebody was clearly on the inside.
The whole movie is classic and grossly underrated.

Certainly not the funniest, but it got a few laughs here. 'It's a Disaster'

For TV Series I nominate 'The Job'. I think netflix has that up for stream also.

Honorable mentions go to Dodgeball and Tropic Thunder. I'm not a Ben Stiller fan, but the other characters in these movies saved them from his stupidity.
I found it a refreshing surprise how little we've seen movies like The Hangover or American Pie mentioned in this thread. That's the only stuff anyone at work ever seems to talk about.
